B. They're in the minority.

C. I refuse to believe you don't know someone like that, no matter where you're from.

    And quite right. I had a friend who'd get the sweats eating sour candies and couldn't do anything even remotely chili.

    I do know someone like that. Their mother was born in the UK and they grew up eating very English. They had zero tolerance for spice and I frequently had them whine that something I made was inedible because it was too spicy.
